589 The Encounter (2/2)

The Transmitting Hall was located in one of the five biggest cities of Canglan Star, Dragon Ear City. It was a large city, with thousands of kilometers around. Hundreds of millions of people lived here, including practitioners and common people. The city was alive with excitement.

However, common people were in the majority, and very few practitioners had truly reached the Mysterious Realm and the proportion was almost equal to that in the Seven-deity Regions. Furthermore, the so-called practitioners were mostly people of the martial arts world, the Level Seven experts.

There were five families in Dragon Ear City and they ruled this city. Every leader came from the five families without exception.

The Jia Family was among the five families, but with the departure of Jia Huaiyu, their influence had greatly declined.

Walking along the largest commercial street in Dragon Ear City and watching the vendors along the street, the restaurants, teahouses, brothels and a flood of people, Zhou Bao curled his lips, ”Damn it, there is no urban management here to keep order. It's really disharmonious. Missing out on such a bonanza!”

He sneered while walking and felt at ease. When passing a restaurant, which appeared good, Zhou Bao walked straight into it.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, the mouthwatering aroma of food drifted to him.

”I haven't had a good meal in a long time. I truly have such a hard life!” The delicious food whetted Zhou Bao's appetite. About 70 percent of the seats in the restaurant had been taken. Zhou Bao found a corner, ordered some wine and dishes. Whilst helping himself, he eavesdropped on a conversation from amongst the customers.

”Damn it! Who says the restaurant is the information center? Bullshit!” After listening for a while, Zhou Bao was almost speechless. He had often read in novels that anything confidential could be heard in inns and restaurants. As long as you sat inside for a while, you could even learn the biggest school Leader's most favored concubine's underwear color. However, what was the truth?

It was all about useless small household affairs. For example, the man sitting there was mystically whispered about the incest of his neighbor's father; that man was bragging about how powerful he was to make his fifth concubine pregnant with a third child. Nobody talked about anything important!

The food and wine tasted good at least.

Zhou Bao gave up on getting news here and ate and drank with ease.

”Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?”

A man came to the table and asked him when he was enjoying himself.

Zhou Bao looked up and saw a middle-aged man with pale skin and no beard smiling at him.

”Venerable Black Turtle?”

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Zhou Bao was surprised to find that he was Venerable Black Turtle. He shaved his beard so that Zhou Bao did not recognize him at first.

Besides, the whole temperament of Venerable Black Turtle had changed in an odd way, and he looked like a practitioner who had just stepped into the Mysterious Realm.

Seeing Zhou Bao's surprise, Venerable Black Turtle grinned and sat down, ”What brings you here?”

”What, that should be my question to you.” His words made Zhou Bao somewhat speechless. The upper levels of the Seven-deity Regions knew why he came here, and Venerable Black Turtle could not have been unaware.

”I know what you're doing here, but didn't you come through that Transmitting Formation in the Three Western Regions? Have those guys of the Infinite Star Sea set traps in the Pond of Illusive Ripples for you? Why do you come to the Canglan Star?”

”Nothing can be hidden from this guy, but he knows I came through the Transmitting Formation of the Three Western Regions. He should know that there was something wrong with that Transmitting Formation!”

The thought of this made Zhou Bao's face contort. ”Don't you know that Qi Miaoyi of the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain and Ye Qingtian joined forces against me, killed all the practitioners who guarded the Transmitting Formation, and almost killed me. I'm fine, but there was something wrong with the Transmitting Formation, and it sent me to this fu**ing barren place!”

”I see. It explains it!” Venerable Black Turtle was just taken aback, seeming to have figured out something.
